Strength Training Exercises
By David Leslie
There is a myth, a great lie and conspiracy about strength training exercise, bodybuilding, getting fit and in shape - that you need to spend hours a day to do it. And it’s not true.
As a fitness instructor in a Premier Gym, I thought I knew everything about transforming the human body through exercise. I was wrong. My clients got results but it took time, and a lot of hard work. With today’s lifestyles most couldn’t dedicate themselves to the long hours needed to transform their body. Neither could I.
It’s not about how long you spend – it’s about how intense you train. In fact….

Unbelievable? I'll show you
A muscle will only strengthen when forced to operate beyond its customary intensity (overload). Overload can be progressed by increasing
- Resistance e.g. adding more weight
- Number of repetitions with a particular weight
- Number of sets of the exercise
- Intensity, i.e. reducing the recovery periods
Every fitness magazine out there tells you have to lift weights, hit the treadmill and spend hours a day training, all while slurping down expensive supplements that are the “missing link” in body mastery. And every gym instructor is telling you the same….and they are all lying to you. Any strength training exercise or program has to be specific to the type of strength required, and is therefore related to the particular demands of the event or aim of the individual (specificity).
Design your routine to work your larger muscle groups first, such as your chest and back, prior to working the smaller muscles like the biceps and triceps.
This aids in warming up your smaller muscles, and allowing you to lift heavier weights, simply because your smaller muscles aid in both the lift, and keeping correct technique.
